Tinder adds facial verification in Singapore amid 7% user decline and legal pressure

Tinder has launched a facial verification feature in Singapore, requiring users to submit video selfies that are deleted after review while an encrypted face map is stored to verify photos and detect fraud. The rollout comes as Tinder faces declining engagement, with paying users down 7% in 2024 and millennials reducing daily dating app usage from 90 minutes in 2018 to 56 minutes in 2024. The company also faces legal pressure after six women sued Match Group in December 2025, alleging failure to remove a convicted rapist despite repeated reports. Singapore's Online Criminal Harms Act requires social media companies to implement facial recognition to combat impersonation scams. The country pioneered facial verification for its national digital ID system, SingPass, in 2020.

Tinder unveils rebrand with AI features to fix dating culture it helped create

Tinder has unveiled over a dozen new features as part of a rebrand under CEO Spencer Rascoff, aiming to shift focus from matches to meaningful connections. The world's most popular dating app has seen paying members drop 8% to 8.8 million in Q4 2025. Key features include Double Date, which pairs users with friends to swipe together, astrology-based matching, and Chemistry, an AI tool analysing camera rolls to understand interests. The company is also enhancing safety features like "Are You Sure?" for potentially harmful messages. The rebrand marks an attempt to revitalise a dating landscape many say Tinder helped ruin. Launched in 2012, the app popularised swipe-based dating but has struggled to innovate as users began treating digital courtship like a game. Rascoff stated the company's priorities have shifted: "Just getting matches is not the goal.

Tinder launches IRL dating events to combat swipe fatigue and court Gen Z users

Tinder has announced new features for 2026, including an "Events" tab launching in Los Angeles that connects users to in-person dating events. CEO Spencer Rascoff told Business Insider the feature addresses "changing consumer tastes" and targets Gen Z users experiencing swipe fatigue. The Events tab sits prominently next to the traditional swiping interface, allowing users to browse and register for real-world dating gatherings. Rascoff hopes it will attract users who have soured on dating apps, comparing the strategy to Airbnb's experiences market. Other new features include specialty swiping modes for music and astrology, AI-powered photo enhancements, and expanded matchmaking programme Chemistry. Early testing shows one in 10 users under 22 have adopted Music Mode. Tinder is also implementing mandatory Face Check technology globally to combat scammers and bots.

Tinder tests AI feature to combat 'swipe fatigue' as users decline 9%

Tinder is deploying an AI-powered feature called Chemistry to combat "swipe fatigue" amongst users experiencing dating app burnout. Currently tested in Australia, Chemistry uses AI to learn about users through questions and, with permission, their phone's Camera Roll to understand interests and personality. Match CEO Spencer Rascoff explained the feature offers users "a single drop or two" matches rather than endless swiping. The move comes as Tinder faces declining paying subscribers and new sign-ups, with Q4 2026 registrations down 5% year-over-year and monthly active users down 9%. Match reported Q4 revenue of $878 million, beating estimates. The company plans $50 million in Tinder marketing spend, including creator campaigns claiming "Tinder is cool again". Additional features include Face Check verification, which reduced interactions with bad actors by over 50%.
